| Excellent rooms in ultra modern part of castle. Has a lift to all floors. The staff were brilliant. We wanted to take the tour of the castle but our arranged bus and train schedule would not have permitted this. The really helpful lady at the desk found out bus 690 runs to Leipzig so we did the really interesting tour with a knowledgable guide. Breakfast was good. I will return in the future | ||
